Default Foam brushes

Good day

I use a lot of foam brushes, actually for almost all the finishes including Varnish except Nitro base finish and oil base stain.

So, how a Rumanian cooking book is starting ?...Steal two chickens...

Get some foam mattress and the rest is on the pictures

Sorry for the Chinese, 40mm=1-9/16" -- 50mm=2" and 3mm=1/8"

Regards
niki

Great idea Niki, I'll give it a try.
How about the Irish Cook Book recipe for Oxtail soup? "Carefully back your ox towards a pan of boiling water..."

Neat idea Niki, but as I have mentioned on previous occasions, I tend to be lazy and so I buy these cheapies at ten for a dollar and toss them out when finished with.

Thank you

Geordie
I'm not sure about the Irish but, in Rumania, long time ago, when you took your left hand out of the window, to signal that you are turning left...your watch is gone...

Harry
I also buy those brushes for general purpose but, with the foam brushes, I'm painting or finishing.
On the picture you can see the foam brush on the Polyurethane varnish can and another two on the black rag.
Don't tell me that you have automatic finishing machine mate...

I wish. No Niki I haven't tried a foam "brush" Some years ago they hit the market here with lots of advertising then not too long afterwards were being sold at give-away prices at the salvage type outlets so I assumed that they were not as good as conventional brushes. At my age one tends to stick with well tried things, however that doesn't mean that I don't have hard drive video recorders, plasma TV, MP3 player
and digital set-top boxes!

Hi harry
The ones that are sold in the shops are really bad. I made some experiments some 10 years ago and I found that the mattress foam is much higher quality and since then, I'm "stuck" with foam brushes.

Oh, BTW, I don't have even ONE of the 4 that you mentioned....and I'm stuck with "Windows 98"...

Best Regards
niki

I wonder if the next guest that we have staying will notice if a few inches of mattress is missing! I stuck with Win 98, having it transferred each time I bought a new machine then about two years ago I had a major crash and decided the time had arrived to change to XP.

Na, he will not (my wife did not)

I'm using the PC mainly for the Internet and my pictures and out of the 3 GB (yes, three) only 1.6 GB are in use....so far so good (said the guy that was falling from the 20th floor to a guy at the 10th floor that asked him "how it's going")...in any case I keep all the important things on a Memory Stick of 1 GB...just to be on the safe side...

But my wife has the latest IBM with XP...well, it cost her my new table saw (Elektra Beckum PK-255 with sliding table), almost same price.

Cheers mate

You don't make soup from what falls out of the ox do you? Ye gads, I hope not..
